I'm sure you'll find something that fits your needs.

DAFlys Posted at 4-12 06:16
Well fits my current whim.

I needed a particular size bag to transport items when I was making port visits in advance of the ship arriving so I had a talented parachute rigger sew me up a really nice canvas bag with a heavy duty zipper. The only reason I knew they could sew that well was I saw a few of the pilot's helmets bags they had made.  You may need to get creative also.

DAFlys Posted at 4-12 23:51
I really need to find some time to take a look,   first jobs are wood repair at the MIL today.  And then maybe flight number of 3 of the day.

DAFlys Posted at 4-13 00:06
Thats a nice idea,   go for something custom,    worth a thought.  thanks for the idea.

DowntownRDB Posted at 4-13 04:14
Going to be a busy day for you.

DowntownRDB Posted at 4-13 04:39
You're welcome.  Now that you have the idea I have no doubt you'll get creative and come up with something very custom for your particular use.

Montfrooij Posted at 4-14 01:20
Still a great still!

DAFlys Posted at 4-13 23:31
I did manage a flight over some OSR fields which was quite nice.

DAFlys Posted at 4-13 23:40
Im also going to check out Ali and see if they have any cheap versions of the DJI one too.

DAFlys Posted at 4-14 05:27
thanks Peter,  this has really become one of my favourite early morning flight spots,  later in the day though it does nothing for me.

DowntownRDB Posted at 4-14 08:24
Ahh, so they are already in bloom.

DowntownRDB Posted at 4-14 08:46
I took a look earlier but not a lot was listed for the Avata 2 yet.

DAFlys Posted at 4-14 22:55
Yes,  I'll be posting a shot from the drone shortly.

DowntownRDB Posted at 4-15 04:16
I saw the shot you posted and they are definitely in bloom.  Hopefully they will fill out and be even more vivid late this month or early May.  I was thinking you posted some in early May last year that showed the fields thick of bluebells in bloom.

DAFlys Posted at 4-14 23:02
Theres a close of the bag on Ali for £30 but they use the pics from DJI website,   Im going to need to wade through the customer reviews a bit.

DowntownRDB Posted at 4-15 04:23
I'm sure you'll find (or make) something that works best for your needs.

DAFlys Posted at 4-15 04:21
They seem earlier this year,  last year it was May 6th that I went to these woods.

DAFlys Posted at 4-15 04:31
I keep coming back to the DJI one for £30,  seems most of the reviews are happy with one exception.   Might be worth the risk.

DowntownRDB Posted at 4-15 05:09
Okay, so they have a lot more blooming to do.  Definitely worth a trip back providing it is not too far from your house.

DAFlys Posted at 4-15 23:24
It's about 50 minutes to get there,  slow roads and lots of road works,   I'll probably try the other woods that were also very good last year.  And then theres a local one which people have raved about but Ive only got one shot there, which ended up on a magazine cover and as I found recently its also on the town maps the council have put up at a few places like the railway station.

DowntownRDB Posted at 4-16 03:45
Ah, that spot is going to get popular real quick then courtesy of the town council.

DAFlys Posted at 4-16 23:13
Youve given me the thought that the wood might be a good place to play with the avata 2.    But perhaps I getting ahead of myself.

DowntownRDB Posted at 4-17 06:27
It's always worth giving it a shot and see.

DAFlys Posted at 4-17 06:35
Well Ive tried fast flying with it now so next up is probably slow flying around some woods, and if the wind persists its a good excuse for some shelter,   I just need to get a better bag for it.

DowntownRDB Posted at 4-17 07:03
You didn't find one you liked on Aliexpress?  You definitely don't want to be hand carrying The Avata 2, Goggles, spare batteries and MC3 or FPV RC2 wherever you go.

DAFlys Posted at 4-17 22:39
Im still undecided about the bag,  so far the supplied one the combo is nicely made but its a bit square,    feels like Im carrying a picnic.

DowntownRDB Posted at 4-18 04:18
I'm guessing something like this would be bigger than what you are looking for.

DAFlys Posted at 4-18 04:25
A bit big.  Ideally I’m looking for a bag that I can reconfigure for different products.

DowntownRDB Posted at 4-18 04:47
Yeah, I figured it was a bit too big.  I looked at numerous web sites and it seems nobody has a small fanny pack or waist line bag for FPVs.  I can see where it would be hard to configure one small but still hold FPV, normal controller, MC and goggles, let alone spare batteries.

DAFlys Posted at 4-18 21:41
Have you seen the trend of hanging the fpv on the outside of the bag?   Like that I could get the controller and goggles into a waist hiking bag and hang the drone on the outside.

DowntownRDB Posted at 4-19 07:04
I've seen them carried externally on backpacks but I suppose you could do that on a waist hiking bag.

DAFlys Posted at 4-19 23:59
I think that would work for me in summer but not winter,  Im still undecided what to do though.  I may stick to the purse for the time being as dobo calls it.

DowntownRDB Posted at 4-20 03:58
I think waist bag would be a more preferable term.

DAFlys Posted at 4-20 23:13
SWMBOd has demanded I stop calling the bag the purse,   she really doesn't like it.

DowntownRDB Posted at 4-21 07:20
They do advertise similar bags as man purses.

DAFlys Posted at 4-21 23:13
I think todays job will be to have another look for a new avata 2 bag.

DowntownRDB Posted at 4-22 01:41
Good luck in that endeavor.
